Before gmail, I used gnus (http://www.gnus.org/ http://www.gnus.org/) to read my email, and frankly the two methods seem pretty on-par (in fact, for over a decade I used gnus to read gmail). The only reason I do use gmail (actually, Inbox) today is because I want to read & send email from my phone, and it's convenient to use the same interface both places. Honestly, I'm a bit tempted to switch to K9 on the phone & gnus on my computer again. Gnus is orders of magnitudes faster than Inbox or the Gmail web UI.
